I stayed at the Shangrila Guilin and all Shangs are getting so predictable that they can be a bit boring too. once you see a shangrila you have see them all. big impressive lobby, same old luxury décor and same FNB concepts. rooms are well designed but again boring in design.maybe they should hire new designers and change a bit their mind set as what luxury should be in todays competitive hotel world.Staff are not as professional as in other locations, quite logic bearing in mind this is Guilin, with waiters they don't clear the dirty dishes, don't assist as much as they should, and the buffet offer has more quantity than quality.I paid Horizon Club Floor and surprisingly for lunch time snacks at the club lounge there was only 3 type of fruits, sweet bread and nuts. they explained to me that the club only serves better food for breakfast and cocktail time but not for lunch. after I complained a few times - as a club should have at all times decent snacks even more when is a Shangrila - they invited me for their lunch buffet. u always expect a lot from this type of hotels but this time I did not get any superb feeling.

shangrila needs a revamp !!

Room Tip: choose river view rooms.

Excellent hotel that sits away from city. Spotless room with all amenities and free WiFi. Breakfast buffet is excellent with Asian and Western choices. They also serve lunch and dinner buffets that attract large groups who snatch food......we ate ala cart dinner one night and had difficulty getting a waiter's attention....but, our food was excellent....best vegetarian quesadilla ever......staff most accommodating of anywhere on month long travel through China.

A professionally staffed hotel and everyone was friendly and helpful.Rooms are spacious and have good soundproofing. Food is excellent, both the Chinese and international cuisines. Coffee in the lobby is very expensive.

This is really an excellent hotel. The rooms are excellent and the facilities also. We ate well in the hotel and the staff were very good, generally with good knowledge of English and when they had difficulty understanding they immediately found someone who did understand.My major criticism concerns the DCC (dynamic currency conversion) scam operated by the checkout clerk, particularly as this was carried out behind my back and all the paperwork I have from the hotel bears no trace of the conversion (all the amounts mentioned are in RMB). I certainly was not asked at any time which currency I wanted to pay in. I am aware of the DCC scam and do pay attention to credit card payments, so this was clearly operated as a scam.Whilst the amount concerned is not that important, the dishonesty of the front desk staff is sufficient to reduce the rating of the hotel from excellent to average.

Room Tip: The river view rooms do clearly have a nicer view.

We had a wonderful stay with a lot of personal attention which is very rare indeed! Excellent hotel and great food! Feb can be wet and cold so may not be the best season for a visit but the city has many hidden treasures and deserves the name of the most beautiful city in China!

The overall services are very good. Especially the restaurants and their staffs are very friendly and helpful. I liked so much the live music on the piano in the lobby... congratulations for that, it was relaxing after our cruise tour.
